Roman certainly was an all round handsome cat. Very similar in personality to Toffee. I expect you remembered him fondly on his gotcha day. Are all the plants growing well that you bought to remember him by?

Are all the plants growing well that you bought to remember him by? lotsofcats, Toffee looks very like Roman as well as in personality, Roman is still here every day, in my memory as of all of the 5 cats we've had he was my cat & I was his servant. I can't avoid him (nor would want to) as every time I look at the mantelpiece there is the unique sculpture I found at a cat show which is just like him in pose, or have a biscuit from the barrel which is same design as the jug on the mantelpiece yourpet.boards.net/post/136634/threadyourpet.boards.net/post/159177/threadyourpet.boards.net/post/159176/threadAs to the plants the 2 rosemaries are thriving, the acer has lost all its leaves but there do seem to be buds ready for next year. I'm a bit concerned as that was planted in the big tub just before the real hot spell & I hope I didn't under or overwater it as it was difficult to judge. It could also be shock with the change of space for the roots along with the hot weather. Next year will be the test for it, fingers crossed. If it doesn't recover I will get another. When I have decided where it will finally be (depending on possible move or stay here) I will replant it with his ashes underneath as we did for Penny's with the standard lilac

I remember that sculpture. It's great that you have the reminder of him every day. He definitely wouldn't want you to forget him, not even for one day.

I'll never forget him (even for a day) lotsofcats, I still remember all the dogs I was brought up with :- Big Brucie, Little Brucie, Johnny Johnson, Skipper, Prince, Bosun & Blackie, from my birth to age 23. Then cats Chloe, Penny & Roman (from my 50s onwards!) Over the years I used to have a dream (definitely not nightmares) about Prince, me & a house on fire - he was a Dalmatian (otherwise known as Fire House dogs, which I assume was the connection to my dream) I always woke up before it finished so never knew how it ended. I haven't had it for a while now. I definitely can have odd dreams!

Wow, that is an odd dream tonib. I often have odd dreams and actually had one last night. In my dream I was going for a walk and decided that I would take Blackberry with me and carry her all the way! I often have cat dreams where I have my cats loose in the car with me and I'm worried how I will get them out one by one without losing any - I think that stems from worrying that the cat pen roof is safe when it's really windy and I worry that the cats could escape.
